Family Reunion
Good, a nice crunchy cockroach. I hope it will be enough for the family reunion. I can’t remember who all is coming. Let’s see, 175 of my children, 327 grandchildren and 809 great-grandchildren. All those munchkins! I’m just going to call everyone Sweetie and Honey.
Guess it’s too much to expect everyone to behave for a few hours. Sheila won’t; she kills and eats her husband soon after they arrive; it’s always so embarrassing. (A new husband each year, too. Where does she find them?) The kids run all over, ripping up my web and then . . .
Oh, there’s the doorbell!

It's a long story ... 
Ha! Love it.
How you made a disgusting picture cute is beyond me. I bow to your superior skills!
Thanks! Truthfully, I looked at that photo for quite a while and wondered what to do with it. And then I did something with it!
That was very creative
This was hilarious!
Very imaginative and funny! Loved it.
Christmas – don’t you just love it? Nice one.
Dear Tresha,
You’ve taken family reunions to a new level. I laughed out loud at Sheila killing her husband every year. Very funny. Very well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Dear Tresha,
Your story pleasantly surprised me. I second Sandra’s comment. You pulled off a great story for the prompt. Well done. I especially enjoyed your description of Sheila and her dining habit.
Aloha,
Doug
It was fun to write!
Family gatherings can be a bit fraught – you’ve described this one very well.
Tresha, Hilarious. 😀 Nothing to compare to a spider family reunion. It’s no wonder names can’t be remembered. Well written. Happy Holidays to you and your family! 🙂 — Suzanne
